    • Chronic variable stress activates hematopoietic stem cells 

      Heidt, Timo; Sager, Hendrik B.; Courties, Gabriel; Dutta, Partha; Iwamoto, Yoshiko; Zaltsman, Alex; von zur Muhlen, Constantin; Bode, Christoph; Fricchione, Gregory L.; Denninger, John; Lin, Charles P.; Vinegoni, Claudio; Libby, Peter; Swirski, Filip K.; Weissleder, Ralph; Nahrendorf, Matthias (2014)
      Exposure to psychosocial stress is a risk factor for many diseases, including atherosclerosis1,2. While incompletely understood, interaction between the psyche and the immune system provides one potential mechanism linking ...
    • Macrophages retain hematopoietic stem cells in the spleen via VCAM-1 

      Dutta, Partha; Hoyer, Friedrich Felix; Grigoryeva, Lubov S.; Sager, Hendrik B.; Leuschner, Florian; Courties, Gabriel; Borodovsky, Anna; Novobrantseva, Tatiana; Ruda, Vera M.; Fitzgerald, Kevin; Iwamoto, Yoshiko; Wojtkiewicz, Gregory; Sun, Yuan; Da Silva, Nicolas; Libby, Peter; Anderson, Daniel G.; Swirski, Filip K.; Weissleder, Ralph; Nahrendorf, Matthias (The Rockefeller University Press, 2015)
      Splenic myelopoiesis provides a steady flow of leukocytes to inflamed tissues, and leukocytosis correlates with cardiovascular mortality. Yet regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity in the spleen is incompletely ...
    • Myocardial Infarction Accelerates Atherosclerosis 

      Leuschner, Florian; Robbins, Clinton; Iwamoto, Yoshiko; Thompson, Brian; Carlson, Alicia L.; Heidt, Timo; Lasitschka, Felix; Etzrodt, Martin; Waterman, Peter; Waring, Michael T.; Chicoine, Adam T.; van der Laan, Anja M.; Niessen, Hans W.M.; Piek, Jan J.; Rubin, Barry B.; Butany, Jagdish; Katus, Hugo A.; Murphy, Sabina A.; Pittet, Mikael J.; Lin, Charles P.; Dutta, Partha; Courties, Gabriel P; Wei, Ying; Gorbatov, Rostic; Majmudar, Maulik D; Stone, James Robert; Morrow, David Andrew; Sabatine, Marc Steven; Vinegoni, Claudio; Moskowitz, Michael Arthur; Libby, Peter; Swirski, Filip K.; Weissleder, Ralph; Nahrendorf, Matthias (Nature Publishing Group, 2012)
      During progression of atherosclerosis, myeloid cells destabilize lipid-rich plaque in the arterial wall and cause its rupture, thus triggering myocardial infarction and stroke. Survivors of acute coronary syndromes have a ...
    • Myocardial Infarction Activates CCR2+ Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells 

      Dutta, Partha; Sager, Hendrik B; Stengel, Kristy R.; Naxerova, Kamila; Courties, Gabriel P; Saez, Borja; Silberstein, Lev; Heidt, Timo; Sebas, Matthew; Sun, Yuan; Wojtkiewicz, Gregory; Feruglio, Paolo Fumene; King, Kevin Robert; Baker, Joshua N.; van der Laan, Anja M.; Borodovsky, Anna; Fitzgerald, Kevin; Hulsmans, Maarten; Hoyer, Friedrich Felix; Iwamoto, Yoshiko; Vinegoni, Claudio; Brown, Dennis; Di Carli, Marcelo; Libby, Peter; Hiebert, Scott W.; Scadden, David Thomas; Swirski, Filip K.; Weissleder, Ralph; Nahrendorf, Matthias (Elsevier BV, 2015)
      Following myocardial infarction (MI), myeloid cells derived from the hematopoietic system drive a sharp increase in systemic leukocyte levels that correlates closely with mortality. The origin of these myeloid cells, and ...
    • Proliferation and Recruitment Contribute to Myocardial Macrophage Expansion in Chronic Heart Failure 

      Sager, Hendrik B.; Hulsmans, Maarten; Lavine, Kory J.; Moreira, Marina B.; Heidt, Timo; Courties, Gabriel P; Sun, Yuan; Iwamoto, Yoshiko; Tricot, Benoit; Khan, Omar F.; Dahlman, James E.; Borodovsky, Anna; Fitzgerald, Kevin; Anderson, Daniel Griffith; Weissleder, Ralph; Libby, Peter; Swirski, Filip K.; Nahrendorf, Matthias (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2016)
      Rationale: Macrophages reside in the healthy myocardium, participate in ischemic heart disease, and modulate myocardial infarction (MI) healing. Their origin and roles in post-MI remodeling of nonischemic remote myocardium, ...
    • Targeting Interleukin-1β Reduces Leukocyte Production After Acute Myocardial Infarction 

      Sager, Hendrik B.; Heidt, Timo; Hulsmans, Maarten; Dutta, Partha; Courties, Gabriel P; Sebas, Matthew; Wojtkiewicz, Gregory R.; Tricot, Benoit; Iwamoto, Yoshiko; Sun, Yuan; Weissleder, Ralph; Libby, Peter; Swirski, Filip K.; Nahrendorf, Matthias (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2015)
      Background—Myocardial infarction (MI) is an ischemic wound that recruits millions of leukocytes. MI-associated blood leukocytosis correlates inversely with patient survival, yet the signals driving heightened leukocyte ...
